For This Bike
Oct 2018
We headed to Germany's Black Forest to test ride the recently launched Cannondale Habit - a 130 mm travel 29er ready-to-shred trail bike

Distinctively smooth-riding frame with responsive wheel pack but needs at least a cockpit change for techy trails. Buy if you want a capable budget hardtail that's worthy of a few upgrades – and are willing to make them
Good looking, smooth-riding frame
Fast, floaty tyres on relatively light wheels
Needs a cockpit change for fast-reacting control
Skinny-axle cranks sap power punch
Numb and uncommunicative brakes

A brand’s base model of a bike line usually shows cost-saving choices throughout its spec. Often the frame material and production process are altered as well.

A great frame let down by mediocre components
Top-notch frame with ride quality to match
Disposable chainset, brakes lack stopping power
